What is a Dilution of Solutions Calculator?
A dilution of solutions calculator is a tool that helps determine how to dilute a concentrated solution to achieve a desired concentration and volume. It’s based on the principle of the dilution equation:

C1V1=C2V2

Where:

  • C1 = Initial concentration (stock solution)
  • V1 = Volume of stock solution needed
  • C2 = Final concentration (diluted solution)
  • V2 = Final volume of the diluted solution

Why use a Dilution of Solutions Calculator?

  • Saves time: Quickly calculates the precise amount of stock solution and solvent required.
  • Avoids errors: Reduces the risk of miscalculations, especially in labs or industrial processes.
  • Standardizes solutions: Ensures consistency when preparing chemical or pharmaceutical solutions.
  • Practical for teaching: Helps students learn and verify their dilution calculations.

How does it work?

  1. Input the initial concentration () — the strength of the stock solution.
  2. Input the final concentration ( ) — the desired strength after dilution.
  3. Input the final volume ( ) — the total volume of the diluted solution you need.
  4. Calculate the volume of the stock solution ( ) — the amount of concentrated solution required.
  5. Calculate the volume of solvent needed:
    Solvent volume=V2−V1

When do you use it?

  • In chemical labs for preparing reagents.
  • In medicine for diluting drugs or solutions.
  • In cooking for adjusting the strength of flavoring solutions.
  • In industrial processes like wastewater treatment or manufacturing.
